Anyone who believes in the Second Amendment should be wary if Sen. Kamala Harris becomes the next vice president of the United States, sitting a heartbeat away from the White House.
Harris is no better than Beto “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15s” O’Rourke on the issue of gun control, which should also incentivize Republicans to drive down to the polls and vote in person.
One year ago, Harris tweeted that she would “take executive action to:
- “Revoke the licenses of gun manufacturers & dealers that break the law.
- “Require anyone who sells more than 5 guns/yr to run a background check on all gun sales.
- “Ban the importation of AR-15-style assault weapons.”

I’m a conservative and I agree with Harris on this one. Why should the fact that she wants to ban dangerous assault weapons that are commonly used in mass casualty attacks ‘incentivize’ me to the polls? The 2nd Amendment does not guarantee that, the same way one can understand that the 2nd Amendment does not grant you the right to a military tank or an atomic bomb.
Fun fact, at the time the second amendment was written, our navy consisted of privately owned warships called privateers. So actually yes, the second amendment does protect your right to own a military tank, and anything up to at least a warship. Please, explain to me how being black and largely plastic makes a gun more dangerous? More people are killed by hammers every year than all rifles, and so-called “assault weapons” only make up a (very small) fraction of the rifles used overall in crimes. Should we ban hammers? We don’t get to take away guns because they look scary and the media hypes it up the 5 times a year one is used in a crime.
“yes, the second amendment does protect your right to own a military tank”
LOL tanks didn’t exist until World War One.
5 times a year?! There have been hundreds of deadly shootings this year.
Some ideas about gun control make sense. But many do not. I don’t understand the civilian use of assault weapons. Nor can I grasp any gun sale without proper background check. But this has zero impact on crime. Much of gun related crime is done using illegal weapons, or legally obtained guns with background checks. So Kampala’s barking really accomplishes nothing. And with defunded police, it’s open season for criminals.
Actually, requiring background checks and the recording of transfers would be enormously helpful in stopping the illegal gun trade. We could trace the firearm used in a crime to the last legal owner and find out how it ended up in the wrong hands. (Sometimes a theft, sometimes a legal transfer without a background check, sometimes an illegal transfer.) But we don’t even require background checks for private sales and the database is still pen and ink! And it is mostly Republicans who have opposed these simple measures that would help law enforcement agencies stop the shootings. And anyone who can legally have a firearm can still have one.
Smooch. Democrat milk mile.
Sly cold hands.
Guns should be taken away from all Democrats. 99% of gun attacks were from Democrats.
She was lucky to be a prosecutor in a state with strict gun laws. For that she can somewhat thank Ronald Reagan! She was two years old when a Republican State Assemblyman from her home city of Oakland got a bill banning Open Carry enacted. Even the National Rifle Association supported the bill. Gov. Reagan strongly supported it.
